To: Chair Ressler and Planning Commission Members Dustin Rief, City Administrator From: Laura Oakden, Planner Date: May 18, 2020 Subject: #LA20-000027, Bob Erikson, 365 Westlake Street, Sketch Plan

Background The applicant represents 365 Westlake Street and resides in the adjacent property at 372 Westlake Street. 365 Westlake is shown to have frontage on lake Minnetonka, has right of way on three sides and one abutting neighbor (420 Tonkawa Road). The lot currently has a structure on the property. The parcel is located in LR-1A District which has a minimum requirement of 200 feet at the lake and 2 acres in size. According to Hennepin County, 365 Westlake is 1.13 acres/49,222 sq. ft. in size and roughly 58’ wide at the shoreline making the lot substandard for the district. The lot looks to be wooded with a sloped grade towards Lake Minnetonka. Hennepin County indicates there may be wetlands located on the East side of the property near Westlake Right-of-Way. Proposal The applicant proposes a number of actions, resulting in a plan for 365 Westlake. The actions include:

1. Vacation of Westlake south of the current cul-de-sac 2. Provision of right of way to complete the cul-de-sac 3. Incorporating the vacated Westlake into 365 Westlake 4. Provision of easement necessary to protect public purpose (water, sewer, sanitary

sewer) 5. Provision of a cash donation for ‘residential purposes’

Application Summary: The applicant is requesting informal feedback on the proposed sketch plan for 365 Westlake Street Staff Recommendation: While no formal action is required, this memo will serve as a foundation for the Commissions discussion with the applicant to bring to light potential issues to be addressed prior to submission of a formal application. Planning Department Staff recommends the Commission provide feedback.

Page 2 of 3

The applicant notes in the narrative they are open to provided easements for utility infrastructure. They also indicated they would like to provide a cash donation to the city for ‘recreational purposes’. Planning Staff Analysis Hennepin County determines how vacated roads are distributed, the Council must determine that there is no public purpose behind the land. With the vacation of Westlake, each adjacent parcel would presumably receive ½ of the right of way, or about 2,350 sq. ft. to each. The applicant is proposing to add the entire vacated road to the 365 Westlake parcel. The current lot in substandard in area (1.13 acres or 49,222 sq. ft.) and width (58’). The applicant indicated they would provide land for a cul-de-sac roughly (2,127sq.ft), removing land from the parcel. The table below summarizes the changes LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET

365 Westlake Action Area Existing Lot 1.13 acres/ 49,222 sq.ft Cul-de-sac Subtracted from lot area -2,127 sq.ft Vacated portion Westlake ROW added to Lot area + 4700 sq.ft Proposed Lot Size 1.19 acres/ 51,795 sq.ft

The property is redistributing land and still substandard in the LR-1A district (2acre/200’ width) Cul-da-sac: The city recognizes a benefit to provide a turn-around on Westlake Street. The applicant’s submitted survey does identify this cul-de-sac area, but clarification is needed from the applicant on how the land would be dedicated via right-of-way or easement. Staff recommends the cul-de-sac be dedicated right-of-way to allow for public improvement and accessibility as part of a final plat. Vacate Lake Access Point: The Comprehensive Plan discusses lake access points as both a function of transportation and parks. Current lake access points within the City are identified in Exhibit ___ MAP and described in further detail on Exhibit __ TABLE. This lake access is point 14 within the Lake Access table and map and is identified as pedestrian access. There are 5 total lake access points identified on Stubbs bay, with no other access points in this neighborhood. The relevant sections of the comprehensive plan are included. In the development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the Council did soften its posture on responding to lake accesses vacations, allowing review of requests. The DNR must review any request for vacation of a lake access point. Currently there are three city improvements within Westlake Street. Please refer to the City Engineers Comments for further analysis.

1. Pavement. There is an improved road through the proposed vacated area. 2. Sewer. There is currently sanitary sewer infrastructure within the right of way 3. Drainage. Surface water currently flows through the property, to Lake Minnetonka.

Engineer Comments

1. The proposed right of way (ROW) to be vacated currently serves as a public purpose in many ways, drainage & Sanitary Sewer, and should therefore not be vacated.

FILE # LA20-000027 May 18, 2020

Page 3 of 3

2. The provision of ROW for a cul-de-sac would provide and an opportunity for a future turn around to be constructed.

3. If land is needed to make up for any land set aside for the Cul-de-sac ROW, the alleyway ROW to the west of the proposed lot could be considered for vacation as it does not currently serve a public purpose.

4. The ROW leading to the lake is a lack access point. Prior to considering it for vacation, the Parks Commission should be consulted. Although not currently improved for recreation it could be in the future such as for winter access or the provision of a small fishing dock.

Public Comments To date, no public comments have been received. Issues for Consideration

1. Does the Commission and Council support platting a substandard property? 2. Does the Commission support the Vacating the right of way with current public

improvements and lake access. 3. Is the Planning Commission comfortable with the proposed plan?

My goal is to combine the land at 365 Westlake St. (PID # 05-117-23 23 0046) with the south 127 feet or so of Westlake St. while dedicating land for a new cul de sac. I believe this could be accomplished by the approval of a single lot replat. The new cul de sac would be centered at the same point that was used in 1998 when I received a lot line rearrangement on the east side of Westlake St for my house at 372 and another lot at 364. At that time the City agreed to a 40-foot radius on the east side of the street. The new additional cul de sac area shows a 50-foot radius. The new portion will be big enough to provide on street parking. Since the area vacated is about .03 acres larger than the amount dedicated, the new lot, at 1.16 A. will be slightly less non-conforming in the 2-acre zone. In addition, I am offering to pay a $ 100,000 park dedication fee and to remove 2,286 square feet of pavement hardcover from the south end of the street. 59% of this hardcover is within the 75-foot setback area. I have an updated survey that shows that two of the original three houses on the site that were removed last year. Attached is an area map of Westlake Street, and a detail map showing dimensions of the proposed cul de sac. The existing "lake access" does not actually provide any access to the lake, because the lakeshore has been completely overgrown with aquatic vegetation for a number of years. It is never used because it is not possible to do so. Two separate portions of the east-west alley on the east side of Westlake were vacated years ago, the most recent in the 1990’s. Further, almost every house on the street has their own lakeshore, so they would not have a use for public access, even if it was usable. Easements can be provided for drainage and sanitary sewer maintenance. At the same time, having a dead-end street of substandard width with no cul de sac causes frequent problems for delivery trucks, garbage haulers, and lawn services. Fortunately, there have not been any fires or medical emergencies, because Westlake Street is not prepared for them. These problems intensify when anyone parks in the street, which is barely wide enough for two-way traffic. When complete, the neighborhood will be well served with improved water quality, on street parking, and an appropriate terminal for the safe and convenient reversal of traffic movement. The City will also benefit from a contribution for recreational purposes. I look forward to seeing this neighborhood improvement move forward.

Summary and Conclusions 2018 Citizen Park Survey To help inform this chapter the city conducted a parks, trails and open space survey. The results of the survey are available on the city website or by contacting the City Clerk.

PARK, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Park, Open Space and Trail Plan is based upon the following goals and Policies, which in turn are consistent with the other elements of Orono's Community Management Plans:

Goals 1. To provide passive open space and active recreational opportunities to serve the needs and

desires all residents.

2. To protect, preserve, restore and provide access to ecologically significant natural resource areas, wildlife habitats and open space.

3. To provide citywide bike and walking trails that provide connections between area parks,

trails and open space and when possible function as a transportation corridors.

4. To identify, preserve and highlight areas of historical significance.

5. To maintain and increase access for all residents to the city’s lake resources such as Lake Minnetonka and Long Lake.

6. To achieve the above goals within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens by



developing fiscal and management policies that support maintenance, development and acquisition of parks and open spaces.

Policies 1. The city will maintain a Park Commission of appointed residents to continually assess and

evaluate the current parks, trails and open spaces within Orono. (Supports goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

2. The city will actively encourage civic involvement in developing and maintaining Orono’s

parks and open spaces through programs such as adopt a parks and park clean up days. (Supports goals 1, 2, 6)

3. The City will cooperate and actively work with public and private organizations to provide

additional opportunities for recreation and open space that complement existing municipal, regional and private facilities. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

4. Orono will require land developers to provide for recreational space to serve all new

subdivisions. New developments that results in increased land use density will be required to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional parks, playgrounds, bike-hike trails and open space or will be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase, of such lands or improvement of existing recreation facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase. (Supports goals 1, 2, 3, 6)

5. Orono will encourage the preservation and protection of natural recreational and open space

amenities including lakes, marshland, wetlands, and natural woodlands on private lands though open space through conservation easements, private donations, land trusts and other preservation methods that allow the private sector to play role in preservation of open spaces. (Supports goals 2, 6)

6. Orono will coordinate with other jurisdictions, agencies and non-profit organizations in the

provision of sufficient active recreation facilities and programs to meet the needs of the community. Orono will actively encourage all school districts to coordinate their programs and facilities and to open them to the public whenever feasible. Orono will actively support and cooperate with the Orono and Mound-Westonka School Districts in their community service recreation programs. The City will encourage planning for organized team sports on a community/sub-regional basis. Orono will work with public or non-profit groups to fund the acquisition and development of recreational and open space lands and facilities. (Supports Goals 1, 4, 5)

7. Orono will strive toward connectivity between the various park and open space facilities. The

interrelationships between neighborhood parks, conservation areas and the rest of the park system should be strengthened through the proper location and use of green ways, trails, underpasses and overpasses. Trail connections should be provided to neighborhood parks to enable pedestrian access. Trail corridors/ easements will be incorporated at the edge of subdivisions and adjacent to major roadways. (Supports goal 3)

8. Orono will acquire additional public open space parcels as opportunities arise. The priority for



any acquisitions will be for ecologically significant lands that abut existing park land, land that provides improved access to existing parkland and trails or land that facilitates the development of the planned trail system. (Supports goals 2, 5, 6)

9. The City’s park dedication fund will be used for purchase of additional park land and/or forimprovement of existing park land. Consistent with Minnesota Statutes, this fund will not beused for park maintenance or recreation operating expense. (Supports goal 6)

10. Where possible, recreational facilities will be designed to be barrier-free so that handicappedcitizens have reasonable access to facilities. Orono will ensure that select new parks areconstructed with accessibility in mind and to incorporate Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) design standards with projects to upgrade existing parks. (Supports goals 1, 3, 5)

11. Orono will maintain Lake Access for all residents. With shore land abutting a dozen separatebays in Lake Minnetonka, Orono has a commitment to maintaining access via the dedicatedaccess corridors. It is the City’s intent to permanently retain for public use all existing lakeaccess corridors and fire lanes, regardless of the current level of use or maintenance. (Supportsgoal 5) To this end, the City will follow these policies: Requests for vacation of dedicated lake access right of ways will be evaluated carefully, in

particular where equal or better lake accesses are not available nearby. The City willidentify and take necessary action to preserve the public’s right to use of any such accesseswhich exist but which may not have been formally dedicated.

The City will endeavor to work with property owners adjacent to lake access corridors toensure that both the rights of the public and the rights of the private landowner are upheld.

12. The city will conduct a periodic (10 year cycle) park usage and needs community wide surveyto determine if residents’ needs are being met. (Supports goal 1)

13. The city will review the existing park and facilities conditions to identify needed maintenanceupgrades and replacements.

14. The city will provide sufficient funding for the administration and maintenance of the existingparks, trials and open space system as part of the regular City budget levy. Other sources ofpark funding such as development park fees, grants, support from local organizations, privatedonations, will be used for acquisitions, capital improvements and major renovations.(Supports goal 6)

TRANSIT Orono is categorized as a Transit Market Area IV. Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of population and employment and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban Edge and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak-period express bus services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use transit service is located along a corridor. The low-density development and suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed-route transit. General public dial-a-ride services are appropriate in Market Area IV. The three primary routes serving Orono are Express Route 645 and 677, which provide express service to downtown from the Mound, Navarre and Wayzata commercial areas along County Road 15, and Express Route 674 which provides similar express service to western and central Orono, Long Lake and Wayzata. The TPP’s Transit Investment Plan does not show any transitway investments planned for Orono in the Current Revenue Scenario. (See Map 4A-7).To expand the reach of these fixed routes, the City will promote dial a ride services throughout the city. The Transportation Policy Plan discusses the expansion of Transit Advantages, though none are expressly identified within Orono boundaries. Given the limited right of way and the growing congestion of County Road 15 through Navarre, improvements and programs to expand Transit Advantage in the area should be closely considered.

FREIGHT Freight transportation in Orono is primarily served by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line parallel to US 12. There are no freight facilities within Orono. The BNSF rail line does not cross any roadways within the City. There are no large freight traffic generators within the City. Most truck and rail traffic is passing through Orono on trips to, from, and through the Twin Cities. Heavy truck traffic is for the most part constrained to roads under Hennepin County and State Jurisdiction. (See Map 4A-8) The development of the lake areas in Orono as seasonal recreational in the late 1800s early 1900’s established many of the transportation patterns found throughout the community. In the lake areas, this pattern led to roads that are substandard to today’s standards. Local residential roads are not designed for heavy freight movement. As the City expands its maintenance program, improvements to turning radii, width, and stormwater retention are considered. There are no known locations where truck access is not available.
